Ty has officially reproduced!

Well, we couldn't be happier to introduce everyone to our new little niece 'Isabel'. She's as beautiful as her name! She arrived Thursday, April 12th at 12:55 pm. Tara was induced Thursday morning, but baby Isabelle did some gymnastics within a few hours of labor and flipped herself upside down:) so the doctors took quick action with a cesarean.




She weighs in at 7lbs 14oz and is 19" long. Tara and baby are doing great and Tyler is quickly becoming very comfortable with handling a babe! Welcome to our big world Isabel, we love you already!!






Our little Kylie and Isabel are only 31/2 weeks apart. It is going to be a blast to watch them grow up together.



I personally think she looks alot like Tara, look at those big gorgeous eyes!

We took the opportunity to take a couple of pictures of Kylie while she was still so tiny......this won't last for very long; it puts her actual little size in perspective when daddy is holding her like this.




Miss Kylie...cute as a button :) She's such a good baby. I think we're spoiled with good babies, knock on wood! She's been sleeping 5-7 hours straight at night, what a difference that makes to my feeling human.

Poppa's 80th Birthday Party

We headed to my Poppa's 80th birthday celebration last weekend and had a great time celebrating with him and spending some time with family that we don't get to visit nearly enough:)

Poppa and Granny have been going through alot in the last 6 months since Granny had been diagnosed with breast cancer; so it was especially nice to introduce them to their 11th great grandchild (Kylie) and just to see them smile and laugh that special evening, enjoying their family.


Poppa was quite surprised (he thought he was going to a midget hockey banquet) he even had a bit of 'nap head' from the afternoon! Bless his heart......


Here Granny and Poppa enjoy their six kids altogether......they don't get a chance to do this very often. Auntie Beryl made the special trip out from Chile for this big celebration.













The 'boy' cousins enjoyed each other's company very much; they had a blast on the dance floor:)
